diese jungen turmfalken in meiner unmittelbaren 'nachbarschaft' zu sehen (wortwörtlich, das ist das dach des nachbarhauses) hat mich sehr erfreut :)
ich hoffe sehr, dass sie auch dieses jahr wieder eine brut erfolgreich hier großziehen können.

2 junge braun-beige gemusterte falken sitzen auf einem gewellten ziegelroten und flechtenbewachsenen dach, an der kante, sie haben mich bemerkt, haben sich uns halb zugewandt und gucken direkt in die kamera. bis gerade eben waren es noch 3, einer ist aufgeschreckt. sie sind noch recht fluffig und etwas gedrungen, das ist wohl ihrer jugend geschuldet. im vordergrund stört ein katzennetz unscharf im bild.

Two American Bald Eagles, possibly a mating pair. December 2023
Bald eagles prefer to live near water and wetlands, where they can find their preferred meal, fish. As opportunistic foragers, though, they also eat a variety of other small mammals and birds. Their dietary preferences make them a common sight near rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. They like to perch on tall, mature trees near the water to watch for prey. The bald eagle population has boomed in Colorado over the last 50 years. Just three known bald eagle nests existed by 1980, but today, reports of over 200 statewide exist! That’s just the year-round birds — over 1,000 bald eagles migrate through the state yearly, more than quadrupling Colorado’s species population. Two eagles are perched atop an old cottonwood tree with pale blue sky in the background. December 2023.

A medium sized bird with mostly brown plumage, that has some white speckles on the underside. More white around the neck, resembling a white collar, which is typical (although not always present) in the otherwise rather variable colouration of this species. Its feet and the upper part of its beak are yellow. The bird is perched on a horizontal branch, which has small patches of moss growing on it. It stands on one leg, while the other is tucked close to its body, mostly hidden beneath its feathers, likely to conserve warmth.

Why are birds of prey still being killed in Scotland's Cairngorms?

“This isn't people traveling from towns and cities going up onto our hills and randomly killing birds of prey. These are targeted offences,” Ian Thomson, investigations manager for the RSPB, told The National.

In the last 15 years, more than 1500 birds of prey have been killed, with 57 convictions. Only one person has been jailed.

Time for detterant based sentencing.
